These are some of the stunning postcards that have come to me from among the world's most remote places and islands, with a special focus on the scenery, wildlife and culture of Africa. If you live or travel in exotic places, send along a card to display on the site. See also "Africa Stamps" on Facebook or Contact: maravalman @ gmail.com

This amazing card shows not only the big five (largest) game mammals of S. Africa in full colors of their habitats but also several other such as the springbok, vervet monkey and a pride of cheetahs (lower right)

This coastal scene shows the beach and lighthouse at Cap Esterias, a short distance from the capital, Libreville. Straddling the equator, Gabon's shores have relatively calm seas and constant temperatures.

This stunning card shows Surinam's flooded forest habitat and some of the wildlife found there. An aracari toucan and squirrel monkeys are shown at left, while a woodpecker and piranhas can be seen on the right. Harder to see is the national flag and coat of arms up top.
